It slows everything down. It feels more relaxed. It allows them to have thinking time.

I like how it made you think out of the box.

I like that we had an in-depth discussion – it gave us insight into individuals’ thoughts.

I liked how from the beginning everyone was involved.

It felt like a safe space.

It’s a really good way of getting children seen, heard, validated.

It’s a chance for those who don’t speak as much to have a voice.
